Thank you for sharing Penny in the Air - I was nearly in tears reading it.
I worked with a Christian last year on my TV show and I was really pleased to be doing so right up until I said I was looking forward to the next set of episodes and she said that she didn't like some of the storylines; that she didn't like that it depicted a positive storyline for the gay character, because she didn't like that that would be normalised on tv for society to watch. It still shakes me when I meet other Christians such that I almost expect the prejudice and rejection of queer people.
It was deeply moving to me to read Sarah Bessey's account of her journey into acceptance of queer people and her acknowledgement that we have a place at the table.
So thank you for sharing. I've bookmarked it so that I can always go back and read it again when I need to.
